Biology Question on The C4 Pathway

In Hatch and Slack pathway:

A

chloroplast are of same type

B

occurs in Kranz anatomy where mesophyll have small chloroplast whereas bundle sheath have granal chloroplast

C

occurs in Kranz anatomy when mesophyll have small chloroplast whereas bundle sheath have larger, agranal chloroplast

D

Kranz anatomy where mesophyll cell are Diffused

Answer

occurs in Kranz anatomy when mesophyll have small chloroplast whereas bundle sheath have larger, agranal chloroplast

Explanation

Solution

C4C_{4} plants have Kranz type anatomy. Vascular bundles are surrounded by bundle sheath cells. The chloroplasts are dimorphic. The cells of bundle sheath have very large chloroplasts. They lack grana and contain starch grains. They are centripetally arranged and mesophyll cells have small and granal chloroplast.
